It is at best only a nico pioco of

players. They wero everyone
right up to tho busiuosa, acting as
well as speukitig with tho ease of
experienced stagers.
" A Model Lover," a comedy in
two acts by Esther B. Tiffany, it
must bo said, has rather thiu

Tho "profossor" was well takon
off, but his makeup vorgod out of
comedy into burlesque, nnd this
latter was still moro pronounced a
foaturo with "Gustavo," who got
himself up in a ballet dancer's

Greek athlete. Ilia app-uranco

ber Last Other Holes.
Tho American steamer Centen
nial, B. B. Whitney commander,
arrived in port lato Saturday after
noon, about 13 days from Seattle.
Sho had aboard, 5 cabin and i'i
second clas3 passeugors as well aB
tho following cargo: 787 sacks
flour, G20 sacks It. barley, 1021
sacks oats, 2000 bags lime, 150

12G0 sacks oats, A. L. Morria. It
might bo stated hero that 500 tons
of cargo was loft ovor in Soottlo
on account of insulliciout freight
space
Tho Contonninl is a thirtocn
knot boat and, whon in first class
shnpo again, will make much
quickor trips.
The Centonninl is now dischar
gintr at the Pacific mail wharf.
Her next port is Hilo but her time
of loaving for that port has not
beou decided on yet. Sho will re
main hero for two or three days.
Something as to tho history of
tho Centennial might provo inter
esting. She was built in England
39 years ago and rau botwoon New
York and Queoustown. Tho Con
tonninl was then a side whoolor.
Twenty yoira ago tho Contou-
uial was sulci to n Japanese com
pany and, up until Decombor last,
was uoing a coasting business. At
that time sho was bought by Am
ericans nnd is now ou tho Seattle-
Honolulu lino.
Whon doiug work for tho Japa
nese, tho Coutennial was known
ns tho Takasago-maru. That name
with the year loYo is ou tho for
ward bell now.
Tho Contonninl is a well built
boat aud is supplied with very
heavy plates. Sho is roomy nnd
very comfortable inside,although a
gianco trom shore mieut preiuchce
n person against her. Sho looks
old fashioned aud not at all unlike
an old time man-of-war.
Captain B. B. Whitnoy. com
mander of tho Centonninl, is au

Thoro is a Japanese aboard tho

Superintend ant Buck was re
called to comploto his unfinished
testimony. Tho points brought
out by Mr. Buck wero ns follows:
That tho accident was caused by a
short circuit; that tho wire was
probably burnt oil by coming iuto
contact with tho noiKllbor wire on
tho other sulo ot tho circuit;
that this other wiro was half
way across1 Richards stroot and
was bo bndly burnod that it broke
when handled by tho liuemou;
that tho broaking of tho pin from
tho cross pieco wns caused by auts
boring nbout and leaving only a
thin crust on tho outside; that
there aro other places in Honolulu
whoro, if wires woro to bo brought
in contnet, a Bhort circuit would
result; that a groat deal of tho wiro
of tho city has broken insultation;
thnt this matter ha3 been reported
to tho Govornmont; that now wires,
arms and poles aro bciug put ou;
that in most cases tho oldvvires
are put up becauso thero is not
sufficient uevv wiro; that tho old
wire is not as safo as tho now.
Mr. Cross asked particularly
about thu mattor of inspection. It
was brought out by both Mr. Buck
and Mm Rowell lator, that there
waa no inspector for underwriters
oxeept in houso wiring. By nttor
noy Bo Bolt, assisting tho Gov

tho wholo system in Jfonolulu was
not in good order. Moro mon

"Tho accident was caused by the
